Book: Seduction on the Cards (Wicked in Wellington) by Kris Pearson

Kris Pearson

about this book: A contemporary romance where opposites definitely attract. What would happen if a wealthy half-French philanthropist donated a building to Gamblers Anonymous in memory of his addict mother? The last person who should have been sent to interview him was journalist Kerri. She had a little gambling habit herself - just a small one - but enough to keep her scrambling for her next pay-packet. Her life was disorganized, and her finances tight.

Alexandre Beaufort presumes he's visiting New Zealand for some quick sight-seeing, some Beaufort Technologies business, an interview or two, and a speedy departure via tropical Noumea in New Caledonia. He doesn't reckon on Kerri's lush body or feisty personality. Doesn't expect to be hit by such a fierce attraction. Certainly doesn't expect a game of strip-poker that turns his life upside-down.

When Alex leaves New Zealand after a one-week affair, he can't forget her, so he issues an invitation for a further weekend together. Kerri has never visited beautiful New Caledonia. Beaches, palm-trees - and LEGAL CASINOS! She sneaks off and loses her travel money, and Alex's respect as well.

Sent home in disgrace, she fumes. But there's more to the story than that, and I'm not going to spoil it for you here. Seduction on the Cards is a sexy romp about two people who can't leave each other alone. Enjoy...
